Indonesia is a country that is prone to a lot of severe earthquakes, such as the earthquake that caused the devastating  tsunami in 2004. If you are planning to travel to the country of  Indonesia, it is important that you try to avoid traveling to the areas which have been badly affected by earthquakes in recent times.

While visitors should try not to be overly concerned by the threat of earthquakes, it is nonetheless an important factor to consider when traveling to Indonesia. Traveling to certain areas E.G. the western coast of Sumatra isn’t advised, in the aftermath of a recent earthquake.

It is important that before you travel, you gather up-to-date information about which areas have been hit recently, which areas are likely to suffer in the future and how severe the recent earthquakes have been. If you find that the area you want or need to visit has been struck recently, it may be best to put off traveling there for a while (until the area has managed to regenerate).

As well as the threat of earthquakes, there are other natural disasters that could affect the time you want to travel. Indonesia has many active volcanoes and every so often, there will be warnings about eruptions given out and evacuations of certain villages will occur. Check before you go whether any eruption warnings have been given out and whether they will affect your flights or destination.

Another factor that may affect your decision to travel to Indonesia, at the current time, is terrorism related warnings. Some Western governments have issued warnings regarding travel to Indonesia and you should check with your local consulate if there are any such warnings being issued at the time you want to travel. You will feel safer if there are no  warnings being issued and you might want to wait until travel to Indonesia has been given the all-clear instead of risking a flight/travel to Indonesia when the government/consulate has advised against it.

If you want to get the most out of your vacation to Indonesia, there are two cost factors that you should consider before you get up and go.

Flight prices and currency exchange rates are two things that you need to keep an eye on before you travel to Indonesia. You may want to co-ordinate your flights with a particular time of year because it will be cheaper to travel E.G. during off-peak travel seasons. Traveling during the off-peak travel season is guaranteed to save you money. Sometimes it is also better to book your flights relatively close to the time you want to travel E.G. Instead of booking the flights 3 months before, book them 3 weeks before your intended travel date. This will ensure that travel advisers and consulates will be able to give you a lot more up-to-date information about current travel arrangements – It’s easier to see 3 weeks in advance than it is to see 3 months in advance. It will usually mean that you can get cheaper flights too!

With regards to currency exchange, it is better to only take a little bit of exchanged money with you if you are planning to travel to one of the main destinations. Once you are there, you can head to a bank to exchange more. If you exchange newer U.S. banknotes you will receive a better exchange rate than if you exchange old, battered or torn ones. The currency exchange rate may have a bearing on the time you should travel – the currency exchange market fluctuates so you may want to wait until you can get the best deal.
